A family memoir states that family members moved >from Orla, Poland and

I believe that "Aruytok" could be a corruption of Horodok (Grodek in
Polish), which my grandfather and his family, who were >from there,
pronounced as "Aradok". This town is located at 53°06' N, 23°40'E,
about 35 km (22 miles) east of Bialystok.
